Superbands

Who do you consider the greatest superband of all time?

I personally think Cream is.

Guns N' Roses, not 100% if they're classed as one though.

I don't think they are... I've never heard that before.

Well, they were a sort of merge of LA Guns and Hollywood Rose.

Just wondering, whats so great about Superbands? I mean, I dont listen to as much rock as I think I should, but from what Ive heard, between a supergroup and a regular plain old fashioned good group, they can be equal.
My question is: Do superbands really tend to be reflective of their superosity?

I'll take your word for it. However, I think to be a superband you need to be the combination of already well accomplished musicians. I don't know, but were either of those bands famous before their malgamation?

Not really, but sometimes. Cream was exceptionally good. I sorta made this thread because I've started to listen to a lot more of their stuff and its awesome.

I really like Journey as well and they probably the most successful superband.

I think Audioslave is the best act in rock music right now and they are a superband, but my liking them is probably more a reflection of my liking older rock better because Audioslave is not as good as either Soundgarden or Rage Against the Machine.

Velvet Revolver is another current superband and I think they are one of the better acts around right now.

Yeah, you're probably right... LA Guns were sort of accomplised... I don't think you would really class Guns N' Roses are one.

I do like Guns N' Roses though 🙂

Fantomas.

Pink Floyd or The Doors.

I was thinking that the Travelling Wilbury's have the greatest collection of band members, but I like Cream the best.

The best band 2 me:

Yeah, Prince, Maceo parker (played with parliament, James brown..), John blackwell (amazing drummer), Candy Dulfer (She's Dutch, and really nice lol), Renato Neto, Rhonda smith (Nice Jazzy Bassplay).

No problems. I will never have problems with a Johnny Cash fan.

A Perfect Circle
Fantomas
Deltron 3030

Tomahawk. They're a pretty underrated band as it is. Prefer them even to FNM.
